Sample Code to Reproduce Problem

/* Compile options needed: none
*/ 
#include <iostream.h>
template <class T> class genvec3d { };
template <class T>
ostream& operator<< (ostream& o, const genvec3d<T>& p)
{
   return o;
}
class ray
{
   public:
                genvec3d<float> origin;
                ray(){}
                friend int operator<<(ostream& o, ray& r)
/* The following line causes compiler Error */ 
                { o << origin; return 1; }

/* To work around the problem, change the line above into a comment and
   change the following line to an executed line of code.  */ 
            /*  { o << r.origin; return 1; }  */
